STAND FOR GAS IRONS, 6L0. APPYHCATION FILED APR-28.1915.

Patented Oct. 26, 1915.

W. Klan/mar I WILLIAM Ma ianas Mammalistea ea-ra es 6 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM KLENNER, a citizen of the United States, residi'ng'at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stands for Gas-Irons, &c.; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in stands for gas irons and the like.

The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of sad iron stands and to provide a simple, and ineX pensive stand of strong and durable construction adapted for supporting gas irons, electric irons and other sad irons and capable of protecting the supporting surface upon. which the stand is placed from the heat of the iron.

\Vith these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and pointed out n the claim hereto appended, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.

In the drawing, Figure 1 is a plan view of a stand constructed in accordance With this invention, Fig. 2 is a side elevation partly in section, Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line of Fig. 1, Fig. i is a partial end elevation of one end of the stand, Fig. 5 is a similar view of the opposite end of the stand.

Like numerals of reference designate cor responding parts in the several figures of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawing in which is illustrated a practical embodiment of the invention, the stand which preferably consists of a casting comprises a top 1 and sup porting legs 2 formed integral with the top and arranged at the corners thereof and provided at their lower ends with feet 3 having perforations at for the reception of suitable fastening devices for securing the stand to a supporting surface when desired. Two of the legs are provided at their inner faces with inwardly projecting transversely fipssiase i of ett r rese Application filed April 28, 152 15. Serial No. ?4,515.

alined supporting lugs 5 having horizontal upper faces and adapted to receive and support a sheet 6 of asbestos or similar material arranged beneath the top of the stand and adapted to protect the supporting surface from the heat of a gas iron or other sad iron. The'sheet 6 of asbestos is relatively thick and the supporting lugs 5 are spaced from the lower .face of the top of the stand a suiiicient distance to form recesses 7 adapted to snugly receive the said sheet 6. The legs at the other end of the stand are provided with supporting lugs 8 spaced from the top of the stand to form recesses 9 which are closed at their outer ends by a transverse wall or flange 10 extending entirely across the stand and being of a width or height substantially equal to the thickness of the plate or sheet 6 of nonheat conducting material. The flange or wall 10 forms a stop for the sheet 6 of asbestos and the open recesses at the other end enable the sheet of asbestos to be readily introduced into the recesses. The top of the stand is also provided at opposite sides of the center with depending approximately L-shaped lugs or flanges 11 extending downwardly and inwardly and forming side recesses 12 which receive and support the side portions of the sheet 6 of asbestos. The asbestos is secured to the top 1 by a bolt 13 countersunk in the upper face of the top and provided at the lower end with a nut 14k which engages the lower face of the sheet 6.

The top of the stand is provided with openings 15 to lighten the construction and it has marginal flanges l6 and 17, forming stops for the gas iron or other sad iron and located at one side and one end of the top. The other side and end edges are smooth to facilitate the placing of the iron upon the stand and the removal of the same from the stand. The smooth side and end edges enable the operator to slide the iron to and from the stand without lifting the iron over the stand and there is no liability of the iron sticking or becoming caught on the stand in placing it thereon and in removing it therefrom.

hat is claimed is A sad iron stand comprising aperforated top provided with an upper extending marginal flange upon one side and end, supporting legs projecting from each corner, said legs being provided at their inner faces with inwardly projecting alined supporting lugs having horizontal upper faces of the table top, and means to secure the 18 forming a support for a sheet of asbestos sheet of material to the under side of the or similar material, the space formed by table top.

said lugs or one set of legs being open to In testimony whereof I aflix my signaenable the sheet of asbestos to be introduced ture in presence of two witnesses.

between the flange and the table top, and WILLIAM KLENNER.

the space on the other set being closed 'to Vitnesses:

form a stop, L-shaped flanges extending GEORGE BREIT EUBAoH,

downwardly and inwardly from the side PETER SCHLESINGER.
